Ex-State Treasurer Baily Liable.

In the suit of the Commonwealth
against Silas M. Baily to recover the
sum of $4,000, with interest, growing
out of the failure of bank in which
state moneys had been deposited, and
in which Mr.. Baily claimed he was not
liable, for the reason that the state had
provided no vault for the safe keeping
of the public funds, and that the state
treasurer is not liable for the loss OF
money deposited in banks under the
acts of assembly of 1874 and 1876,
Judge Simington Monday morning
handed down an opinion, in which he
holds that under the bond given by the
treasurer, he is liable; that the very
terms of the bond require that he shall
account for and pay over to his sue
cessor all moneys received by him in
his official capacity; and his failure to
do SO is, therefore, breach of the
condition of the bond; that this rule
has been applied rigidly to public Off
GERS by the Supreme court, and this,
though his failure to pay over the
money was caused by the fact shat he
was suddenly beset in his Office, thrown
down, gagged, and that against all the
defense he could make the money was
violently and without his fault taken
from him" That it has been held to
be no defense, even on behalf of the
surety, that the money was stolen from
the principal without any fault or neg
ligence on his part, aud the judge says
he has not been able to find any later
case modifying this doctrine.
He also says he does not think that
under the acts Of 1874 and 1876, per-
mitting the deposit by the treasurer in
banks in good standing, security being
taken in the name of the Common
wealth, the liability of the treasurer
ceases. These acts were intended
simply to add to the security of
the state. Under the law, therefore,
he sees no other course than to direct
that judgment be entered in favor of
the Commonwealth for the amount Of
the claim.

Pennsylvania and New York.


1t is now about half century since
New York city began to take the lead
OF Philadelphia in commerce and finance
but while New York city has grown
rapidly in every quality of material
greatness, Pennsylvania has steadily
kept the lead of New York 10 growth
of population. From 1880 to 1880, the
percentage of increase of population
has been in favor of Pennsylvania in
every census report. The report of
1870 exhibits an increase Of 1919 per
cent. in New York AMI 2l.1 in Penn.
sylvanis, and the report of 1880, shows
the New York increase TO be l59 TO
2l.6 in Pennsylvania. The total in
crease of population in New York
from 1860 to 1870 was 502,024, and
from 1870 to 1880 it increased 700,
while Pennsylvania increased 615,7S6
10 1870 and 7G0,940 in 1880.
Controller Chaplin, of New York
State In his recent special report to the
Legislature on salaries, taxation and
revenue presents some very instructive
facts as to the relative growth of pop
ulation in the two States. One import.
ant difference between New York and
Pennsylvania is in the fact that of the
increase of population for the decade
ending 1880, II per cent of the aggre-
gate increase in New York was in
seven cities, while only 35 per cent. of
the aggregate increase of Penn
sylvana was in cites of like rank.
Pursuing the comparison, Controller
Chaplin states that of 67 counties in
Pennsylvania, but one shows decrease
in population only five show a gain
of less than five per cent over As
counties show a gain of over ten per
cent, 22 of which show gains of over
20 per cent, while there are only 8
counties in New York which exhibit
that percentage of growth.
The difference in the growth of Post
Offices have been equally in favor of
Pennsylvania. New York had 2,947
in 1870, and now has 1921 an increase
of 2S4. Pennsylvania had 3,443 in
1870 and now has 4,0SS an increase
of GAS. There are now 16 Pennsyl-
vania Post Offices which have the free
delivery system, to Is in New York /;
but under the late act of Congress ap-
proved January 8, 1887, Beaver Falls,
Bethlehem, Carlisle, Chester, Chambers
burg, Franklin, Hazletor, Huntingdon
Johnstown, Lebanon Meadville, New
Castle, Norristown, Oil City, Shenan-
doab, Titusville and West Chester,
will all be free delivery cities after the
close of the present fiscal year on the
30th of June and New York will then
be behind Pennsylvania in the only
postal feature in which she now leads
the Keystone State.
The marked distinction between the
growth of Pennsylvania and New York
is in the country districts, the great
producers of wealth. New York leads
Pennsylvania in city growth, where
people live largely on the wealth-pro-
ducing classes, while Pennsylvania has
her largest increase in the great indus
trial centres which are her sources of
riches, and thus proves the more sub
stantial and enduring advanceme mt in
the channels which most contribute to
the grandeur of a Commons
Times.

Destructive Storms.

A terrific thunder storm, accompan-
led by heavy hail and wind equal TO
hurricane, passed over the Allegheny
mountains in eastern Somerset and
western Bedford counties last week. A
few moments before the storm came
roaring like the discharge of many
cannon was heard in the distance, and
as soon as the clouds rolled across the
sky the roaring increased. The storm
struck the mountains, moving 10 a
northwesterly direction, and was about
quarter of mile wide. For two
miles large trees were twisted off like
straws, and everything in its path iron
ed on TO the earth. In some instances
immense trees were caught up and
carried several hundred feet into the
air and hurled back again with a swift
ness that cannot be described. The
lightning was fearful, and struck a
barn belonging to man named Barn
hardt, living on the mountain, and
totally demolished 1t, the wind carry
ing away the portions the lightning
didn't destroy. The hail fell in stones
as large as eggs, and vegetation of
all kinds suffered severely. The dam
age TO fruit trees and timber will
amount to thousands of dollars.
A terrific wind swept over the upper
peninsula of Michigan last week, com
pletely prostrating telegraph wires
and doing great damage. At Ishpem-
ing, Houghton, Negaunee, Escanaba,
and all through from Fort Howard to
Iron river, and from Norway to Saulte
st. Marie communication was entirely
destroyed. Many buildings were un-
rooted, chimneys demolished and rail-
road travel badly interrupted by fallen
trees.
Men in the woods were terribly
frightened. At Norway John Coleman
was killed by falling tree at Quin-
nessee the Masonic hall and Fireman's s
building wss demolished; on Iron
Mountain grea. damage was done to
houses, and so the reports 60 on from
the country all around there

Terrible Mine Disaster.

A terrible explosion occurred at the
Vancouver Coal Company's mine,
Nanaimo, B. c., last week. The first
intima.ion of the explosion which reach
ed those on the surface was a terrible
shock, followed by an outburst OF thick
black smoke through the air shaft.
The first explosion was quickly follow
ed by second one, stronger than the
first. 1t carried pieces of wood, miners
lamps, etc., hundreds of feet in the air.
In few minutes flames began to
issue through the airshaft with a loud,
roaring noise. The farmhouse soon
caught fire and was quickly consumed.
In the meantime nine white men and
four Chinese were brought up through
No. /, or the hosting shaft. J. r.
Gibson, overman, miraculously escaped
from the lower slope by picking his
way to the stables, where he was met
by the rescuers. Rescuing parties con-
tinued in the attempG to reach the en-
tombed men, but were able to save
only fifteen, when they were overcome
by the afterdamp and had to be rescued
by others. Of these noble rescuers,
Samuel Hunson succombed to the
effects of the afterdamp.
A black pail hung over the city.
Business houses were closed, collieries
shut up, and the entire population
gathered at the scene of the disaster.
Frantic wives, terror-stricken children
and sorrowing fathers hovered in the
vicinity and mourned over their terri
BILE afhiotion. Occasional showers of
rain cast dreariress over the already
ghastly scene. The imprisoned miners
were all old settlers. Their faces were
familiar on the citys streets, and there
will be many void in the homes of
the people. All of the thirty-six bodies
were discovered Friday morning in the
fatal mine and brought to the surface
by l O'Clock. The men had all been
killed by afterdamp and presented q
horrible appearance. The scenes around
the shaft while body after body was
brought up and identified were sorrow
full in the extreme. E. G. Prior, M.
P. p, mining engineer, nobly volunteer
ed to 60 down the fatal shaft and
assist in the dangerous work of re
moving bodies. He states that the
bodies were found three-quarters of a
mile from the shaft, and were rescued
from the midst of the after damp with
the greatest difficulty. Men had to
pack bodies on their backs through
quarter of the way up the slope, climb.
ing over fallen pillars, broken cars, &c
Of the men whose bodies have been
recovered "a are white men and 2
Chinese.

possibly be an iusurable interest and
the court was, therefore, asked 10 in
struct the jury that it was wagering
policy. The court declined TO so
charge, and the verdict was against the
company. A motion was then made
that judgement be entered for defend.
ants, Notwithstanding the verdict.
Judge Simonton, on Monday May 9th
in overruliug this motion, says: That
there was evidence to prove that dur
ing plaintiffs minority he lived with
his stepeather received his wages and
that alter he married he was treated as
a son that they gave and received
money as needed, and that they "dld
not charge one another at all" The
court says it understands from the yer.
dict of the jury that the insurance was
affected in good faith, with an honest
purpose, and without any idea on the
part of the stepfather or stepson of
entering into a speculation, or making
a wager and that it was based on the
relationship and the relations existing
between them. The court says the
question is narrow one. 1t knows of
no case in which the relation of STEP
father and stepson ipso .facto implies
an insurable interest, but as it under
stands it the question here is, does such
relationship, notwithstanding the facts
found by the jury, copclusively mega
tive the existence of such an interest,
and also require the court, on grounds
of public policy, to hold that there can
be no recovery ut may be that it
does, but we are not prepared SO to de-
eide. The point must be settled by the
court of last resort"
The court then follows this decision
with comparison of the decisions of
the supreme court relating to the sub
ject and says: "Upon the whole case
we think the verdict ought to stand.
In the case before US, all intent to spec
ulate on the part of any one is negativ-
ed by the verdict, We think the ver-
dict ought to stand, either on the
ground that the plaintiff, on the special
facts in this case, had an insurable in
terest or that the interest of the assured
in his own life, supports the contract
to pay as against the company, and
that public policy will be better con-
served by SO holding, and treating
plaintiff as trustee for those entitled
to the fund, than by permitting the
company to knowingly make such con-
tracts with persons who act in good
faith and not with intent to speculate
and, after having collected large assess
ments, repudiate them. If the court
of last resort thinks otherwise, the
case is in such state that our error may
be readily corrected and the proper
judgment entered"
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1887-05-13

There is forceful shout in New
York city for local self-government.
The New York Times declares that
''rural rule for cities is failure" and
adds:
The people of the city of New York
have the absolute right to manage their
own local affairs in their own way, and
representatives of rural communities
have no right to deprive them of the
opportunity and assume to do better
for them than they can for them selves.
And thereupon the Philadelphia
Record comments thus:
There is wholesome truth in this
suggestion. 1t is indeed high time that
the up-country tail should cease to wag
the metropolitan dog.
And yet during the present session
that same Phila. Record begged and
prayed the Country members of the
Pennsylvania Legislature to help defeat
the villainous legislation of the ring
sters and rascals whom Philadelphia
had sent up to represent itself-saying
that Philadelphia was part of the state
etc etc.
at is indeed high time" that the
country members should let New York
and Philadelphia take the legislative
dose they mix up for themselves and
attend to Legislation outside of those
metropolitan dogs"

1t is authoritatively stated that, be-
ginning in September next, Miss Rose
Elizabeth Cleveland, sister of the Presi
dent, will be associated with Mrs.
Sylvanus Reed of New York in the
management of Mrs. Reeds school for
young ladies. The negotiations between
Mrs. Reed and Miss Cleveland have
only just been concluded, after a cor
respondence extending over number
of weeks.
Miss Cleveland will become Mrs.
Reeds first assistant, and will deliver
lectures on American history. Miss
Cleveland is to devote her entire at.
tention to her new duties, it having
been stipulated that she is not to en-
gage in newspaper or magazine work.
Mrs. Reed has known Miss Cleveland
for number of years, and she spoke
to-day OF the Presidents sister in terms
of unqualified admiration, and particu-
larly eulogistic of what she termed Miss
Cleveland's classical education.
